> Russia invaded Ukraine. Unless you think Russia is a US puppet helping the US weaken Russia, I think you should check your prejudices.
The US had been supporting Ukraine before that, both by proxy and explicitly (https://www.state.gov/u-s-security-cooperation-with-ukraine/). The Russian invasion was incidental to, not a trigger to instigating, the US support of Ukraine. The over-arching behavior, of weakening Russian influence in a region, has been consistent.
